Secret People

My friend, Max Montez, does an awful lot of work within the Bay Area hardcore/punk music scene. He's only 21, yet, he's already spent the past nearly 5 years booking shows, publishing zines and releasing records. In a few weeks, he'll be shipping copies of his latest release, a self-titled 7" by San Francisco hardcore group Secret People.

Reason Refrains

Eyes go blind to the sights of life

It all begins to fade away

So you return to the sites of your life

With no memory of anything

Reason refrains

No reason remains

A gray landscape, all hues subdued

Eternal search, endless pursuit

Still, a remedy eludes

You will walk forever on through the gloom

Reason refrains

No reason remains

Pat Robertson Is an Asshole

So apparently the writers at Time Magazine have been really busy compiling Top 10 lists. I don't know if this is a new thing or a running feature, but, I was just on their website and they seem to have created a list for just about every topic you can think of. Regardless of whether or not it's even in dispute, this list offers pretty good evidence in support of the scientific fact that Pat Robertson is an enormous asshole.

Black Flames

Integrity recently posted a new song on their website. The track is called Black Flames, and it will be on their new record to be released on Magic Bullet records. Dom Romeo—famous the world 'round for his involvement in A389 Records/Slumlords/Pulling Teeth—has deemed this record Integrity's best material since Seasons In The Size of Days. This is high praise, and I'm inclined to agree.
